I have been home for about 2-1/2 hours. Yes you can guess it once again. I have final I have yet to study for today. So instead of jumping right away into studying I decided to blog. Can you blame me? Of course not! What is the purpose of a blog if you are unable to use it has a procrastination tool.
My morning devotional discussed accepting strangers as commanded by the Lord in Leviticus and by Christ himself in the New Testament. The only strangers I had contact with today were located in a Chipotle I decided to make a rush lunch visit to. The visit took place at 4;oopm. Yes I said lunch at 4:oopm. That is what happens when you work and decide not to step away. I digress. I ordered my food and smiled. I did not give the employees any trouble. Did I make my mark? I would say no. But what would the Lord say? I suppose I could have taken a track to hand to the cashier has I finished ordering. That thought did not come to my mind at the time though. It just came to me now about 3 sentences back. I think that might have made a difference. But why? I would have stood out from the crowd. I actually would have been the stranger in this case, the stranger that handed her a track. A track is a tool in sharing the gospel, where the giver does nothing but hand it over to the receiver. Neither ever sees each other again most of the time. A thought just came to my mind though. What if I went tomorrow at about the same time to possibly meet the same cashier at Chipotle. And at that time give her a track. I probably will not. It was just a thought. Or perhaps it was the Holy Spirit that prompted that thought. So should I?
That my friend is the dilemma.
